One For My Baby lyrics

It's quarter to three,

there's no one in the place

'cept you and me.

So set 'em up, Joe,

I got a little story,

I think you should know.

We're drinking my friend

to the end

of a brief episode.

So make it one for my baby

and one more for the road.

I know the routine -

put another dollar in the machine.

I'm feeling so bad.

Won't you make the music easy and sad?

I could tell you a lot

but that's not

in a gentleman's code.

So make it one for my baby

and one more for the road.

You'd never know it,

but, buddy, I'm a kind of poet.

And I've got a lot of things I wanna say.

And if I'm gloomy,

please listen to me,

untill it's all talked away.

Well, that's how it goes.

Joe, I know you're gettin'

anxious to close.

So thanks for the cheer,

I hope you didn't mind

my bending your ear.

But this torch that I found,

its got to be drowned

or it soon might explode

So make it one for my baby

and one more for the road

So make it one for my baby

and one more for the road,

that lonely road...

Oh, and one for youself, of course.
